Video: Fishery cemetery in Chile

Researchers recently excavated an area believed to be a cemetery for seabirds, also known as prehistoric fish lizards, with nearly 50 nearly complete bone samples in southern Chile.

Telegraph said at least 46 samples of nearly completed skeletons were excavated in the area of ​​Torres del Paine National Park, in the Patagonia region. They were discovered after melting glaciers revealed marks on the stone face.

The fossil belongs to the fisherman , also known as the fish lizard (Ichthyosauros) . This is a large marine reptile shaped like a dolphin, with a body length of about 5m.

According to palaeontologists, fishermen lived about 245-90 million years ago. They are thought to be extinct, under the effects of global warming. This finding will provide important research information about the life of prehistoric species in South America.
